Understanding Heat Capacity
Heat capacity measures the energy needed to raise an object's temperature by one degree Celsius, influenced by the material and its quantity. Specific heat capacity varies among materials due to the different ways energy can manifest, with only kinetic energy contributing to temperature increases. For substances with high specific heat, much of the energy goes into forms like rotational velocity, which do not affect temperature.In this clip
